Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, post-market data collection study intended to collect data on the short- and long-term safety and performance of the SCP Procedure.

Description:

Patients with symptomatic BML(s) of the knee(s) who qualify for a SCP Procedure will be invited to participate. This study will enroll up to 95 patients across 4 investigative centers in Europe over a period of 12 months. The maximum study duration is expected to be 6 years. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 1 month, 3, 6, 12-months and 24-months post injection; and subjects will be asked questions regarding their pain and functioning to further understand long-term outcomes. For all subjects at selected centers, a long standing X-ray and MRI at screening and either at 12 months or 24 months will be obtained.

Intervention

Device:
• Subchondroplasty Procedure
AccuFill is an injectable, self-setting, macro-porous, osteoconductive, calcium phosphate bone graft substitute material that is intended for use to fill bony voids or gaps of the lower extremities (pelvis through foot) that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscale	Change in pain following SCP Procedure as measured by the KOOS pain subscale. The KOOS is a validated instrument which measures knee pain and function using five subscales: pain, symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation, and quality of life. The instrument consists of 42 standardized questions each having 5 point Likert response scale.	12 months
Secondary	Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)	Change in KOOS pain and function subscales and overall scores. The KOOS is a validated instrument which measures knee pain and function using five subscales: pain, symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation, and quality of life. The instrument consists of 42 standardized questions each having 5 point Likert response scale.	2 year
Secondary	Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale	Change in pain as measured by NRS pain scale. The NRS is a validated measure of knee pain. The NRS is an 11 point Likert type scale anchored by 0 "no pain" and 10 "worst possible pain". Subjects rate their average pain over the last week	2 year
Secondary	EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D)	Change in quality of life as measured by EQ-5D. The EQ-5D is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's current health status and heath related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L descriptive component assesses five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression over five levels of severity	2 year
Secondary	Heath care utilization Questionnaire	Healthcare utilization for each subject will be recorded via a not validated questionnaire to capture information about any treatments, therapies, specialists, etc. utilized for pain or symptom relief following study treatment and follow-up.	2 year
Secondary	Subject global satisfaction Questionnaire	The subject global satisfaction is concerned with determining patient-related factors such as patients' satisfaction with treatment, and experienced health outcomes. The questionnaire uses a not validated 11 point scale anchored by 0 "totally dissatisfied" and 10 "extremely satisfied".	2 year
Secondary	Occurrence of Re-operations	Occurrence of subjects that require any re-operation on the index knee from initial SCP Procedure.	2 year
Secondary	Time to Re-operations	Time from initial SCP Procedure to any re-operation	2 year
Secondary	Occurrence of Revisions	Occurrence of subjects that require revision on the index knee from initial SCP Procedure.	2 year
Secondary	Time to Revisions	Time from initial SCP Procedure to revisions	2 year
Secondary	X-ray	X-ray evaluation of alignment, joint space narrowing, osteophyte and cyst formation and subchondral sclerosis	12 months
Secondary	MRI BML lesion size	MRI evaluation of Bone Marrow Lesion Size	12 months
Secondary	MRI BML type	MRI evaluation of Bone Marrow Lesion Type	12 months
Secondary	MRI Intraosseous vascularity	MRI evaluation of Intraosseous Vascularity	12 months
Secondary	MRI location of injectate	MRI evaluation of Location of Injectate.	12 months
Secondary	Adverse Events	Occurrence of Adverse Events	2 year
